It doesn't get much better than this! Joel is baking his famous bread and watching his beloved Cougs play basketball, I'm knitting a new project and the kids are fast asleep after snuggles, Christmas stories and carols. I love nothing more than being home with my family. I feel grateful and content. We are blessed.
To see what else I'm thankful for start here. Want to be part of the Gratitude Community?
I am so excited to begin my own list of One Thousand Gifts along with the Gratitude Community at the Holy Experience blog!
So many times over the years I have whined and complained and completely taken for granted the beautiful gift that my life is. Never have I realized that more than during the last few weeks. Noelle's surgeries and recovery have produced in me an intense appreciation for God's love for me and the way he has blessed me with the people, places and things in my life.
I look forward to more joy in my life, simply because I am looking for it.
I thought it would be easiest to start with the first ten things that come to mind. I am thankful for...
1. hugs and kisses from sticky little hands and faces.
2. kindred spirits in the workplace.
3. friendship with my husband.
4. air conditioning.
5. celebrating 4 years of my son's life.
6. eager friends picking veggies and weeding our huge garden!
7. confident and capable surgeons.
8. good neighbors.
9. my laptop.
10. This song:
